free online community workshops
|
We are happy to announce that Hope in the Heart has received a grant from the government's Coronavirus Community Support Fund, distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund, for our latest project Transcending Covid - New Beginnings.
|
This enables us to provide free compassion-based and solution-focused community workshops until March 2021. All events take place via Zoom, and aim to be creative, interactive, enjoyable and accessible to all.
Many of our regular workshops are for women only, and we currently offer a mixed session on Mondays and occasional one-off workshops for mixed groups.
The project also features a women-only Facebook community which women everywhere are welcome to join. Adapting Gloriously! - One Glorious Thing... is a haven in which to share experiences and solutions - or just bask in what is glorious beyond the challenges of daily life.
Please visit (and like) the Hope in the Heart Facebook page for events as they come up.
The overall theme of this project is on improving mental health and wellbeing, resilience and compassionate connection, in a comfortable and safe environment, and laying the foundations for a positive future.
